"This brings us to why Gladwell isn't just irritating but corrosive. He is a distortion on the production of knowledge in society. He abuses his fame. No young writer could get away with writing books anchored in "loosely held ideas." And in this, he violates the basic social contract between author and reader. The majority of Gladwell's audience reads his books on the fair assumption that he must be writing with expertise and conviction on his topics, or otherwise, publishers and booksellers wouldn't be such strong advocates. But even though Gladwell is fully aware that he's not being rigorous, he never caveats his ideas as mere speculation. No Gladwell book tells you in the preface: Hey, hold these ideas loosely. He wants it both ways: to come across as authoritative to readers and be able to distance himself from mistakes later." (Culture- An Owner's Manual, Forget Gladwell)

MCP specification, section ​3. Security and Trust & Safety: Every security principle is OPTIONAL. #whatmeworry #whatcouldpossiblygowrong #mcp
The section 3.2 Implementation Guidelines (implementation of Security and Trust & Safety!) lists 5 "security principles". All are highlighted in yellow.

All 5 are listed after saying "implementers SHOULD"...

There is a callout window below with my comment, "I love that the security section makes every mentioned security principle optional"

Lol, gotta love a specification with vague terms like "agentic" thrown in without any definition. Even the topic heading "2.2 Features" - the term "Feature" is not even defined. #MCP
The definition of "Sampling" from the MCP specification

"Sampling: Server-initiated agentic behaviors and..."

The word "agentic" is highlighted in orange and has a popup window below from Readwise where a comment was added about the word:

"lol, not even defined yet. WTF is an 'agentic' behavior?"

Screenshot from the search query "application attack matrix" The entire first page of results consists of 4 sponsored advertisements that have nothing to do with what I'm asking about.
